The Habits and Arms of the Ancient Germans( Philippus Cluverius; 1580
- 1623)
Published pre 1711 from Germania Antiqua, which treated
the ancient geography of Germany by Philipp Clüver born in
1580 in Danzig, Royal Prussia. He began studying law at the University
of Leiden in 1601, but, under the influence of Joseph Scaliger,
changed his field of study to history and geography. His father,
Master of the Mint in Danzig, was displeased with Clüver for having
abandoned his legal studies and withdrew all his financial support of
his son's education. As a result, Clüver resorted to wandering through
Hungary and Bohemia, where he served in the military for two years £45
